I would love to have a dodge button, on all classes. My mage just isn't fast enough to avoid some attacks.

Okay so just want to make sure I'm clear on something. If as a Rogue archer I get the ability bloodied prey in the double daggers tree that effect will still apply to my Bow correct cause it's not listed as weapon specific?

I think so. I unlocked that skill on Sera as well, as I don't really what should I get anymore.

I hate the shards. They put up those damned markers everywhere on the map. I look through the skulls and tell myself that I will only collect shards I walk by during other missions. Then my map is filled with rhombuses.

Guard is generated from defensive warrior skills like Taunt and Challenge.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
After 52 hours of completing literally all the side content I could possibly complete, I finally did the "Your Heart Shall Burn" and
Amazing sequence, Dragon Age is not known for cinematic moments like that, haven't done any new missions yet besides talking to everyone and
Loving it.
got to skyhold.
meeting the female dwarf I helped in the first game leave Orzammar as well as Cassandra nearly beating the shit out of Varric for hiding the fact that he knew where Hawke was, also nextgen Hawke looks awesome.
I just walk right by the skull icons on my map.
Holy shit lol. Now I really wish they had given the DA: I title flash on finding Skyhold. It'd be a mindfuck 52 hours in.

Looking at all the shit on the war table was indeed a mindfuck. Will try again to complete all the side content before continuing the story. I'll probably be OP.I just walk right by the skull icons on my map.

I'm on my fourth run and I'm still finding new missions popping up because I did X differently.
Gotta be something like 200 missions.

It just occurred to me that I'll have to do a second playthrough with different decisions.

This game really does have a lot of issues triggering flags for cutscenes and such. I had a few for my initial play through.
I was just about to start up a second game, just to really give the game a fair shake and see if the combat is more enjoyable on nightmare, and the damn thing spawns me in the wasteland area of the initial cutscene after I spend 30 minutes customizing my character.
No ability to save, just wandering around this obviously incomplete area with no way to get out. Sigh.

Wow... it just fucking happened again.
Wonder what could be causing it.

Later on some weapons / armor also have the ability to generate Guard through attacks.
Perhaps the most over-powered build in the game is a Knight-Enchanter who has Guard-generating equipment (which can be crafted with rare metals, e.g. Fade-Touched Obsidian). Knight-Enchanters already generate Barriers through their abilities; with Guard-generating equipment they're pretty much always protected by two forms of armor on top of their health bar.

Those fade rift enemies that channel frost rays or whatever are the worst. They slow you down, teleport, and put up barriers. Hate fighting those guys.

Well, it appears I'm not the only one...
Maybe something to do with making a female mage?

So I'm getting this for christmas and I had a few questions:
Party wise I'm thinking of using iron bull, serra and viviene. Is this a decent party?
I'm not sure what class I'd be. Either rogue or mage. Was a mage in the first. I've seen a bit of a playthrough and not sure if i'll need more magic or another bow/lockpicker. Does serra come with thief skills?
Does this game have the same aggro mechanic? I recall hating getting charged all the time in origins.
As I said I played the first but never finished it. For the dragon keep stuff I gather it's mostly cameos but is there an ideal way to set things up in terms of content/extra quests/etc? I think I made an origin account for mass effect so I assume I use that to access the keep.
Finally it seems a tad buggy. Is there anything to watch out for? Nothing game breaking I take it?
Looking forward to try this. Seems much more my thing than the first was.

OK, figured it out.
I guess it has to do with the command line that fixes the 30fps limit in cutscenes.
Had to remove this from the command line and the intro sequence played fine:
-GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+

So how do I upgrade Bianca?
I crafted something called "Flanking Limbs" for it I think, but they just sit in my inventory inder upgrades, and I can't figure out a way to upgrade it at the armory...
I have all these weapons for rougues that do more damage, but I'd like him to keep his signature weapon if possible?
Edit: upon trying again I've created another upgrade called "deadly limbs" but I can't do anything with it.
Building these off of the "Bianca Arms I" schematic.

If only it were that easy. I'm sure there will be similar OUTRAGE when the next bombastic pseudo-RPG like Mass Effect or Bethesda titles gets some meaningless award over that year's elitist darling.

So I'm chillin' on the MP and really cracking into the SP mode. I'm in the Storm Coast and I'm getting REALLY bored of trying to get the last two shards. How important is it to do all this bullshit? It's the last shit I have available until

I collected all of the shards.
The rewards for getting them all are not worth it in the slightest. Very underwhelming.

I got somewhat into that little dungeon thingy where you get the buffs so I got SOME of the buffs. Like +4 to each resistance or some shit overall. Is that at least most of the buff?
In the upgrade weapon machine you need to switch to his character if you want to apply upgrades to Bianca.
And you can only use Bianca and dual daggers, other bows don't work on him so if you have other bows just give it to Sera/Cole or sell it.
No way. Iron Bull is worthless unless you control him yourself. He dies constantly. You want a warrior with a shield in your party to build guard. Cassandra is a beast with her upgraded skills.

What does Willpower do?
Increases a character's max Mana/Stamina.
With the amount of effort poured into most quests, I fear you'd fire their only quest designer, Jim the vocational school intern. Poor Jim.
There's also Race/Class unique ones. It's pretty crazy.

I am at the
now.
1. There you have the opportunity to make your own
. But I can only make a male one - is this a bug?
2. Is it possible that some important NPCs can die at the quest Your Heart Shall Burn? Where is the
character for example?

Thanks.
You do know that you can make Iron Bull a S&S Warrior, do you? The only restrictions each character has is if they'e a Warrior, Rouge, or Mage + their specializations.
Yea, but the reaver specialization is built around the 2H build.
I killed a fucking dragon in the hinterlands. Level 11 now thanks to it.
Ally AI was probably my biggest hurdle. Solas and Verric kept getting blasted when they insisted on standing in the AoEs when it sucked them in or right infront of its face.
In the end I took over Cassandra ended up soloing the last like 10% alone. Fucking sword and shield is OP as shit jesus fuck.

Lol Blackwall is even stronger.
Literally just got Blackwall and wasn't sure what to do with him.
